On today's podcast we have Olivia Big Tree. Today we'll hear about how she was picked to be the subject of a New York Times article about her art. Listeners please excuse the inconsistency in the audio. I am still learning how to operate and control the podtrack system that I use in recording interviews. Some of what I thought was recorded was in fact not recorded and my audio engineer had to piece together the interview as best he could. Nya wenha!Host Keely Calf RobeGuest Olivia Big Tree
